Princess Fighter: Search for the Throne

Chapter 99: The End of Leaving (Part 1)

Chandragarh

Prince Mahendra has agreed to a marriage alliance between his unmarried sister Avantika and to appoint Vidyut as chief minister for the entire Chandragarh region in return for his assistance.

Thanks to her sister, Kritika runs away, Avantika is held in the palace and it is easy for Vidyut to seduce her all along.

"I'll deal with this later. I have to meet with the ministers now," Prince Mahendra controlled his emotions and told Vidyut in an expressionless voice.

Walking away, the prince only had one black thought on his head,

"That man should be dealt with sooner rather than later. How dare he threaten me!"

Looking at the man's body language, Vidyut knew that the prince was not interested in keeping his deal. People should always have a backup plan!

At midnight, the Border between the Capital and South Zilla

Although Yash is not part of the Suraksha Chakra group, he is pulled by Prithvi for an important task, in the morning. He's on his way now to the Southern zilla. His mother had been arrested along with two other zilla heads by Sharada and was being held in a royal prison. Although there were Sapsindhu soldiers crowding around the place, he had to find a way to return.

.

Gouruk

Vindhya's eyes were round like plates when she heard her brother's calm image of the events behind the scenes. They were sitting under a tree in Gurukul and Vindhya could only shiver.

Whether it was the cold wind or the coldness of her brother's voice that made her tremble, she didn't know. But he could not reconcile the image of the hero in his head with the man sitting in front of him.

It turned out that the one who helped her in the shadows during the competition was her brother and her minions. But not because he wanted to help her achieve her dream. It was only a backup plan if the invasion of the Sapsindhu prince was unsuccessful.

Raising her eyes, she looked at him and asked carefully,

"What if I refuse to marry her, Brother?"

Vidyut turned his cold eyes towards her and replied,

"Did I give you the impression that I was asking you? Over the past ten years, me and many others like me, have worked very hard towards our goal of restoring what was one century ago. Do you think your feelings matter in the scheme of bigger things? And why did you even think of rejecting him? Being the most powerful woman in the region was far nobler than being the queen of a small country. And if that's the Southern zilla boy you're still after, don't worry. Brother will make sure that he comes and works for you as a slave. You can play with him as you like."

Vindhya clenched her teeth to suppress the nausea that had accumulated inside her.

"Do our parents know about this?" he whispered in fear.

He didn't want to know the answer but he had to ask.

Vidyut shook his head and smiled miserably,

"It was a blessing in disguise for me when you turned out to be the center of the universe of our ambitious parents in my eyes. I never told them about my dreams because they held a stupid idea of patriotism about Chandragarh. They will never understand my goal and the path I take to achieve it."

Vindhya breathed a sigh of relief.

But then ask again,

"Our father is also in prison. He's gonna.. He's gonna be safe, right?"

Vidyut turned to her and smiled,

"Doesn't that depend on your cooperation? After all, the prince wouldn't hurt his own father-in-law, would he."

After about a minute, he asked Vindhya,

"Where are the other contestants? Mrignayani? Did you see him today?"

Vindhya raised her red eyes to look at him carefully,

"Why are you asking about him? Do you like it?"

Vidyut laughed out loud and replied,

"Dear brother, you think too much. Whether I like it or not has nothing to do with it. The girl slipped out of my hand at the first opportunity and it turned out to be a mistake. . With him by my side, I will be able to control many factors early on!"

Vindhya looked at her brother confusedly but did not dare to ask any further. He has his own problems to deal with now.

.

Royal Palace, Chandragarh

Vandit and Nirbhay were carrying large bowls of scented water and potion bags and were standing outside the door. Hearts were pounding, they looked at each other as if drawing strength from each other.

"Come in," a hoarse voice commanded.

"Greetings to the head of the East zilla. We have been ordered to bring medicinal water from the royal physician's room. Can we give it?" Nirbhay who spoke, in a submissive voice.

Sharada did not participate in any clashes that took place between the royal guard of Chandragarh and the Sapsindhu forces. He had just entered the palace once the army of Sapsindhu had conquered Chandragarh's army. He could finally relax now.

Today, they control the country, both internally and on the border. On one side of Chandragarh is Vayuprastha, which is pointless, and the remaining area is open in the sea.

Chandragarh has finally fallen!

Sharada waved his hand and let the two young men approach.

"Uh. we were instructed to ensure that the chieftain was given thorough care. Both me and my brother are professionally trained, medical masseuses. Is head zilla willing to give us a chance to show our sincerity?" Vandit asked the person in front of him in a gentle tone.

Sharada narrowed her eyes and asked,

"Who sent you?"

The boy looked frightened and immediately retreated.

"Please forgive us. We were sent to you as a gift from the prince himself to show his kindness. Please allow us to please you, otherwise we will not be allowed to see the sunrise tomorrow" Nirbhay pinta said with a clear grievance.

.

Royal Palace, Chandragarh

Sharada was really tired and sore all over the body.

Other than the prince of Sapsindhu, not many knew about his talisman on the baby-faced boy. So, it seemed like the 'gift' was actually sent by him.

"What makes me paranoid? After all, this palace is full of our people.." with that thought, Sharada waved her approval to them.

"Guards, stay alert!" with that, he closed his eyes and let the boys do their job.

Vandit nodded politely and raised Sharada's leg. He placed it in a large tub of medicinal water while Nirbhay advanced and removed Sharada's kurta. His facial expression did not change and he started to apply the crushed herbs to the injured area.

At first glance, his wound seemed to be healed. But when Nirbhay approached him, he could faintly see pale green lacerations breaking out around the affected area.

He smiled nostalgically and stood up after a thick layer of herbal paste was placed around his wound.

Ramanujam is a genius. His love for fiddling with poison potions was unknown to many. But what he liked the most was, adding to the opponent's woes.

This person must have been stabbed by Guruji with a slow-acting poison. There is no other way this kind of lacerations will appear as the wound improves.

"How are you feeling?" Vandit sounds like feathers in Sharada's ears.

Sharada felt as if she was floating in the air.

Within a few minutes, the pain seemed to decrease drastically.

He laughed and said,

"Zilla's head is too good. We will be happy just by being able to serve by your side. You may not know this but the news of you being the real mastermind behind this success is spread throughout the palace. Me and my brother just want to stay under your wing..." Vandit's mouth seemed to be only spewing out honey at this moment.

Sharada closed her eyes happily and patted her skinny shoulder,

"Help me to bed. I'd like to take a little nap."

Both Vandit and Nirbhay bowed politely and came forward to help. They had just managed to deliver the newly discovered medicine in Sharada. This medicine suppresses pain and creates an illusion of happiness in one's mind. Since Sharada had received a double dose, through medicinal water and herbal paste, she would definitely visit the land of La-La tonight!

devyani brothel

As per Prithvi's orders, the most ferocious royal guards were gathered here. Their numbers were not huge but each of them equalled ten warriors in fighting skills and strength. On the other side of the tunnel, Mriga was standing inside the queen's room. Indrani has gone from there and so has Prince Mithilesh, with a group of guards to accompany him.

Mriga knows that the prince of Saptsindhu will be wary of his presence here and he will have to find a reasonable reason to stay and execute his plans.

.

Capital city, Sapsindhu

Shaurya came out of the dressing room and saw the expressions of those around him. The soldiers that Princess Ahilya brought, were stationed in a deserted area, some distance from the capital. It was difficult to make foreigners come in large numbers in the city all of a sudden. As a result, only Shaurya, Abhirath, the chieftain and Ahilya enter and are in a place governed by the prostitutes who helped Shaurya last time.

He also helped get the costumes for the four of them. Unfortunately, Shaurya had drawn a short straw and was given the costume of a eunuch belonging to Sapsindhu Palace.

Abhirath tried to hold the snort hovering right at the end of his nostrils.

Instead, he said with a straight face,

"Guruji, I'm really looking forward to seeing you practice one of your lessons today."

On Shaurya's raised brows, he continued innocently,

"You always tell us that the disguise is not about clothes or make-up but about the person she is imitating!"

Suddenly, there was a thumping sound, and laughter lingered in the room. Shaurya looked at Abhirath without blinking his eyes, making Abhirath turn pale.

"Uh, I'm also going to change clothes," with that, he ran out of the room.

"Daughter, now, your stepbrother will expect news from his people about you. Considering that he did not tie Minister Rudradev into this assassination plot, he might already be suspicious of the minister. Unfortunately, we don't have time to find out the people behind the murder. So, our time to take over Sapsindhu is very short. If we fail to do so before dawn tomorrow, please return with the help of the chieftain. It is very important for us not to do it. let the enemy take even more that they already have," Shaurya spoke seriously, impressed by the seriousness of the matter.

It was purely because of Rudradev's information network so they could trick the princess' attacker. Even if they fail in tonight's coup, Princess Ahilya needs to take control of Himprayag with ministerial support.

Prince Mithilesh is in Chandragarh at the moment, but at the first sign of trouble, he will run back to his homeland. The distance between the two countries is only 8-10 hours.

"I don't like backup plans. It made me feel that the existing ones were weak and would fail. I'd rather spend all my energy to make it a success," with that, he opened the detailed blueprint of Sapsindhu.

Shaurya was impressed with this side of Ahilya. Ever since they started this mission, he had been a completely different person from him in Himprayag.

.

Royal Palace, Sapsindhu

"Greetings, Your Grace. Prince Mahendra has sent a message to subdue the enemy, delivering a crushing blow to them. Tomorrow morning, the coronation ceremony for himself as ruler of Chandragarh will take place" the envoy told King Amrendra.

The king's face turned red upon hearing the news. She had honestly given up on her dreams in this life and until six months ago, she did not think that her son could achieve them either.

"Let the palace begin to prepare a great feast before the arrival of the future king. Call the council of ministers tomorrow morning. I want to talk about handing over power to Prince Mahendra" he said in a booming voice.

.

South Zilla

By the time Yash got home, it was already late. Many unexpected things had happened in the past twenty-four hours for him to accept. Even though he was a true patriot, he never expected to face a situation where he would face the enemy in this way.

Since he had spent his years of growth on the way back and forth from the Southern zilla, the inconspicuous-looking 'spymaster' had chosen him for this task.

Yash knew how to avoid all the main routes and rode his horse through shallow rivers and dense forests to reach South Zilla. This route makes it longer but here, he doesn't have to face border security.

As per the information received, many people in the armed forces, both on the border and in the interior of Chandragarh, have defected to Sapsindhu, leading to the current situation. To achieve this transfer of allegiance, the prince of Saptsindhu spent not only energy, but also a lot of money!!

In the words of the white-robed master, Prithvi, the coffers of Sapsindhu are very low at the moment and the first thing that will be targeted, is the wealth of Chandragarh. The royal palace dome guard has been captured by Prince Mahendra.

The vault in Chandragarh was not only built deep in the ground, but also contained many trapdoors around it. The knowledge of this trap was on the vault guard. But unfortunately for the prince of Sapsindhu, once one reached the main door of the vault, a unique curve of the queen's palm was required to open it. Without his hands, the door would not open. Moreover, if an external force was used, it would trigger a small avalanche inside the vault, causing it to self-destruct!

Prithvi hopes the vault guard will keep information about the queen's attendance requirements for opening the vault, as long as possible.

Once the prince found out, he would order looting within the country, to make up for the inability to access the vault until they captured the queen.

This is where Prithvi needs the help of Yash's father, who is not only one of the largest owners of wealth in the country, but also the secret head of the wealthy merchants in Chandragarh.

Since all correspondence, whether through birds or humans, was being monitored or destroyed by the enemy at this time, Prithvi had no choice but to send civilians to carry out this task.

He wanted state traders to make the right arrangements to safeguard the country's wealth in any way they deemed worthy before the enemy could master it.

.

Himprayag

The king was uncomfortable with the turn of events. Although he had approved of his son's plan from the very beginning, he felt extremely guilty at this moment.

Looking at the dark sky, she wondered if her daughter's body felt lonely lying in a cold room. He has been an incredible fighter but a bad politician. In a harsh world with crooked minds, there is no place for single-minded and meticulous leaders.

As a result, he had no choice but to support his son, which showed a far more potential comparison of trash. The country came before the children themselves!

No, No... Now that they were so close to their goal, he could not feel sentimental. After that, Himprayag will officially plunge into politics, not sit still. The old king could not help but feel happy about it.

.

Vayuprastas

Princess Kritika sits with King Shaligram in the royal palace. It was completely late and there was no one else present there except for a few guards and officers. Although it only happened this morning, news of Chandragarh's fall into the hands of Sapsindhu has reached Vayuprastha.

To be honest, the king was worried now. If this news were true, Saptsindhu would be the most powerful kingdom and a small island like Vayuprastha would not be able to escape his anger for having given protection to the fleeing princess. He wondered how to bring up this topic with the princess.

But he beat her, though,

"Are you worried, King Shaligram?"

The king looked at him timidly and said,

"Alright, I think if you want to live in peace, you have to make up with your brother. After all, he is your brother. He will forgive you if you show your sincerity to ask for his forgiveness."

Kritika smiled eerily and took a sip of the wine glass that was in front of her.

"Do you know who helped me avoid the deadly guards of Saptaindhu for the past year so that I remain hidden in the kingdom of Saptsindhu?" he asked her.

The king was confused about the shifting of topics. The identity of that person doesn't matter anymore, does it? The princess seemed to know nothing about the impending predicament and was still alive in the past.

Nevertheless, he replied politely,

"No. But I am sure that someone who is resourceful and brave can escape from the royal guard in this country."

Princess Kritika smiled and said,

"That's Rani Samyukta!"
